Save, load, and authenticate sessions
Session management is what makes AridNova demos and release analyses repeatable. You can capture an entire workspace and return to it later, while authentication keeps private-repository analysis practical without ever exposing your credentials.
The session panel lets you Save or Save As to store the current workspace under a name, Load to restore a previous pipeline, and manage your GitHub token for private repositories. Once a token is saved it is masked and never displayed again, so repository access stays controlled without leaking secrets.

Steps and outcomes
| Action | Expected output | Customer value |
|---|---|---|
| Save or Save As | The workspace is stored under a named session. | Solution engineers can preserve demo states. |
| Load a session | A previous pipeline can be restored. | Teams can revisit prior releases or customer examples. |
| Set GitHub token | Private repository access can be configured; tokens are not displayed after saving. | Repository access is controlled without exposing secrets. |
Before recording a demo
Set the GitHub token for private repositories, but never expose a real token on screen — tokens are masked after saving and are not displayed again.
